Hello again, fellow AC devs!
In our new project, we're using AC's parallax scrolling feature to create the illusion of depth. However, our artist is having a hard time creating background art because he's used to generating parallax layers that scroll as a relative speed percentage. So, if the mid-ground navigable space has no parallax, the foreground might move at 200% speed, and the background at 60%.
Does the parallax intensity setting in AC correspond in any direct way to this kind of conversion? If my artist says he wants the foreground to move at 2x speed, for example, is there an easy way to transpose those numbers?
Thanks!

To convert a speed percentage to a Depth value in the Parallax2D component, I expect it's a case of subtracting it as a decimal from 1.
Foreground at 2x speed: Depth = 1 - 2 = -1
Background at 0.6x speed: Depth = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
Fantastic! Thank you so much, Chris--works like a charm.
